Welcome to my Xnspy review – the sixth reviews in my series of phone spying and parental control apps reviews.

When considering using parental control software, XNSPY is one of the most popular monitoring application intended to help you with the protection of your children from harmful content. But is it any different from the other monitoring apps available in the market or is it better than other spying apps? Do you want to know whether this app is right for your needs?

Keep reading! With the following XNSPY reviews, you can make a wise decision whether the XNSPY spy app is your best option for your parental control needs or not.

What is XNSPY?

Launched in 2013, XNSPY is a mobile phone monitoring software that records a target device’s online activity and uploads it to an XNSPY user’s account. This spy app is designed to give you access to your child’s phone information, including emails, call logs, social media apps, text messages, media files, and more. In addition, it also uses GPS tracking technology to check the location of your target remotely.

Specifically, XNSPY is designed for parents who wish to monitor their children under 18 years and employers who want to keep track of their employees through company-owned smartphones and tablets.

Is XNSPY Legitimate?

When using any spying or monitoring software, we may ask the same question, “is it legit?”

To answer this question, I spent some time going through SNSPY’s legal pages. It’s a lot of text in there, but what it essentially says is that Xnspy software can only be used for legal reasons by parents and employers and only after the legal consent of the device users. It’s illegal to use Xnspy for monitoring digital devices of your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, or partner. Failure to do so is likely to result in violation of applicable law and XNSPY will cooperate with the law-enforcing authorities to the full extent. 

Therefore, please be sure to tell another person that they are being monitored before installing an app on their device. Other cases of tracking someone else’s phone will be considered privacy violations and result in heavy results.

XNSPY Review: Overview of XNSPY Features

• Social media monitoring

The app can keep a record of all messages exchanged on a variety of instant messaging and social media apps. This list includes prominent platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Kik, Skype, Viber, Tinder, LINE, and others are also tracked. 

XNSpy’s iMessage chat tracking is great to be used on iPhones, as most people with iPhones use iMessage to get in touch with each other.

• Phone Calls and Text Messages Tracking

When you install the XNSPY spy application on your target device, it keeps track of all the incoming and outgoing calls and reports them to you in a list. It also monitors and communicates all text messages and email messages sent to and from the target device. This way, you always stay up to date on whom the person contacts regularly.

• Internet History and bookmarks tracking

XNSPY provides a detailed list of websites accessed by the target device. This includes a list of bookmarks and an analysis of internet history. The analysis indicates the number of times the given websites have been accessed by the monitored device.

• List of installed applications.

XNSPY allows you to view the current applications on the target phone. This presents an opportunity to block harmful applications and unblock appropriate applications. Hence, you get better control of the target phone and prevent rogue activities using applications that might result in substantive damage.

•  Location tracking

Like most spy apps, Xnspy also lets you track the target phone via GPS data. This is perfect to keep your children away from dangerous areas and also to keep your employees in the office during office hours.

• Call Recording

Like FlexiSPY, on the jailbroken or rooted device, XNSPY allows you to record the calls on the phone of your child. It can be an efficient feature if you need this tracking level. 

• Keylogging

Keylogging enables you to monitor the keystrokes made on the phone of your child. You can check the website visited, messaged types, and passwords entered on their phone. 

• Remote control

On a rooted device, you can use Xnspy to access the online control panel and then send remote commands to the target phone. With this feature, you can lock the phone, block certain applications, and even completely wipe the device.

• Summarized report

XNSPY provides summarized reports of activities within the target phone such as phone calls and text messages. This is done by are automatically generating graphs on recorded activities on a weekly, monthly basis. This indicates the frequency of supervised activities within the target phone. The report enables you to make proper analysis and evaluation of such activities for the most appropriate action to be taken.
